Losing Weight?

June 13th, 2009 at 11:28 am

Still holding at 138. Depressing!

I have been ravenous lately. I also have been running at least 20 miles a week. So why am I not losing weight? My hypothesis is that I am burning a lot of calories and then eating a lot because I am so hungry. (Overeating is more like it.)

I am at work right now and will leave at 3p. But I did a 20 minute boot camp workout this morning before work and ate a light and fit yogurt with water for breakfast so I am feeling good about things.

I just really wanted to weigh 130 by July 18th but I might have to reassess that goal. At this point I will settle for 135 which if I buckle down should be reachable!

I know. I just thought of a plateau as lasting a couple of weeks because for awhile the weight was flying off me. Now it's been nearly a month and I have not lost any. I am just frustrated and I don't want to keep overeating because of it.

I am down to 135 from 140. I, too, am sort of plateauing and not losing as much as I'd like, given counting calories and being more physically active. I'd like to be down to 130 by the end of them month. Should be do-able.
